swimming learning story

Swimming can help people to be safe in the water. It might even save someone’s life.

This term all the Year 6’s went to the Cannon Creek pools. On the way to the pools we sang matariki
songs. When we got to the pools we waited for our turn while the junior kids had their half an
hour lesson. The year sixes got changed and when we came out we waited on the steps. I had a little game with Sylvain and Dezil. We had a game of rock, paper, scissors. Then the juniors came out
of the pool then we went in.

I improved on my rocket arms and how to go faster by kicking my legs in the water.

I used key competency of relating to others by cheering my team on when they needed it.

I also used the key competency of managing myself. For example, I helped myself by making myself
think I can do better.
